Intel Posted January 26, 2004 Benfica striker Miklos Feher suffered a heart attack and died during a Portuguese SuperLiga clash at Vitoria Guimaraes on Sunday. The 24-year-old Hungarian international - who was capped 18 times - collapsed shortly after being yellow carded in stoppage time. He leaned forward with his hands on his thighs before suddenly falling backward. Feher - a second half substitute - was stretchered off the pitch and the game was halted for 15 minutes as team doctors attempted to resuscitate him. "We tried to do everything we could to save him,'' Dr. Fausto Fernandes said. Feher was taken to a hospital in Guimaraes by ambulance, where he died later. UEFA announced on its official website that Feher died of cardiac arrest. An autopsy was planned for Monday. "We are all in deep shock and would first like to address his family sending our condolences. All the Benfica board and supporters are mourning our athlete, Miklos Feher," Benfica's head of communications Antonio Cunha Vaz said. At last year's Confederations Cup finals, Cameroon midfielder Marc Vivien Foe collpased and died after suffering a heart attack on the field. sad story ey..
